I think you are right. I’ve been thinking about this sad scenario. Anything Weaver had to discuss with the shooter could have waited...except one thing. If Weaver wanted to confront the shooter *while* he was drinking, that could not have waited. If, for example, Weaver had gone the next day, the shooter [sorry; I don’t know his name off hand] could have said, ‘I only had a couple of beers.’ Weaver could not have proved otherwise.
So the one matter so urgent that the dead father just couldn’t let it ride would have been the drinking itself. For whatever reason, Weaver wanted to crash the party and be obnoxious about the fact that alcohol was being consumed. [This is pure conjecture, but it fits what facts we have.] For this he should not have been shot, but again, we don’t know where that “confrontation” went from there. Just a shame it couldn’t have waited till the next day regardless.
Yes, the son did have more sense. Get away and stay away. If only his Dad had followed suit.
To my knowledge all the Dawson County Police Dept stated was “alcohol was involved” in the incident. The news took that & ran with it skewing it to mean a “boozey” birthday party. To my knowledge there is ZERO evidence showing any of the adults at that household were intoxicated. SO - could it be that it was the person that went back to Bo’s house to confront him did so while under the influence?
So - lets look at the facts. Two men (much younger than BO) go to Bo’s household at around 10 pm to confront him. Bo is assaulted (there are pictures to prove this). He then must not only protect himself from further assault but also protect his girlfriend, her small children & his pregnant daughter inside the home. And HE gets arrested??
Tory (Bo’s daughters boyfriend) pulls the assailant Marty Buice off of Bo (at this point Bo was on the ground getting pounded by Marty) and subdues him and Tory gets arrested???
PEOPLE - everyone needs to really pay attention to this case... WHY were the persons that were assaulted ON THEIR OWN FRONT PORCH arrested for protecting themselves (after they had already called 911 for help) and the person that went to their home to confront them & assaulted Bo is NOT in jail ????? Dawsonville is a small town & Brandon Weaver was well known. I see a major railroading happening to these men that were arrested & thus far the story is being “told” by the people in that town that knew & are friends with the Weaver family - so it is VERY skewed.
People that believe in the right to protect your family from assault need to pay attention to this trial!! IF you read the news articles THEN learn the actual facts it will become crystal clear of what is happening in this town !
Also interesting link (as this stuff IS public record) :

Wonder if that is why his name is NEVER mentioned by the Dawson paper?
